You had a very impressive graphic a while back that showed the red 
lines and the green lines quite distinctly.    In my opinion that was 
an awesome educational graphic to show balloonists why a path isn't 
needed at altitude.

As you point out the green lines just aren't visible on the graphics 
in your email and the few PNG files I downloaded.
